The Role of Blockchain in the Energy Transition

6/18/2018, 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM | German House New York

The promise of blockchain technology for the energy sector is a big one - by linking up distributed energy resources such as PV rooftop installations, heat pumps, electric vehicles or electricity storage, blockchains could improve system reliability, reduce operating costs, and allow consumers to share in the economic surpluses arising from a better resource utilization. The event will discuss and analyze the maturity of technologies and projects in the United States and Germany.
